Galliani Declarations to Be Taken with Pinch of Salt

As you can read in the next slide, Adriano Galliani confirmed that Mario Balotelli will stay at Milan.

A quick look at recent history will show that these confirmations do not necessarily hold up. Most notably, Galliani made a similar speech only a few months before Kaka's departure to Real Madrid on the Italian TV station RAI Sport.

A 100% player confirmation coming from his lips usually means that there are teams heavily bidding for the player, so don't be surprised if Super Mario isn't wearing a Rossoneri kit in the near future.

Adil Rami and Keisuke Honda Confirmed

Valencia defender Adil Rami and CSKA attacking midfielder Keisuke Honda will be the two reinforcements in January for the Rossoneri.

Rami (pictured above) is a much-needed addition to a decimated back line that just hasn't been good enough. He also has experience playing alongside Philippe Mexes, as the two have started together for the French national team.
